MySpace Mopsy and Myopic Measures

Friday, March 27th, 2009

The brazen, unbelievable stupidity of the law and law enforcement continues to surprise even me. One of the recent incidents which has my senses reeling, is a case where a currently unidentified fourteen year old New Jersey girl posted pictures of herself, consisting of 30 “indecent” images, on MySpace.

Certainly you can argue that her actions merit some kind of stern punishment by her parents and a harsh conversation on the sheer stupidity of performing such a naive act: but the government’s response is utterly nonsensical! This fourteen year old girl, who was not manipulated to do what she did, was not endangered by anyone but herself, is being charged with various laws against child pornography (presumably for creating and distributing).

Let that fact sink in for a second: She’s been arrested and charged with felony counts of child pornography for posting pictures of herself!

If convicted, she will have to register for the rest of her life as a sex offender! She will have no right to vote, own a firearm, etc., and will have to identify herself on every job application she ever fills out – for the rest of her life – as a felon!

How damnably demented, tyrannical and incomprehensibly brainless are our police and prosecutors? Are they really ignorant of the intent of laws like this, or are they simply throwing their weight around, using the letter of the law to purposely cause harm against people who have really committed no crime?

What good will come out of ruining this girl’s life?

The sick, festering, mentally deficient and morally bankrupt prosecutors pushing for these charges and the mindlessly absolutistic police who are helping them, are complete and utter scum – not worthy to eat the soiled toilet paper this poor girl produces. They have demonstrated no measurable common sense in this and should be debarred, disbarred and fired – and preferably buried in a very deep cesspool somewhere, where they cannot infect the rest of the populace with their malignant cretinism!

I am becoming more and more convinced, that the whole damned planet is going stark, raving mad.

Mandatory Volunteers

Wednesday, March 25th, 2009

Obama is likely celebrating the Senate passing the Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act (GIVE Act) today.  It passed with huge support in the House and the Senate responded similarly.

This bill adds $6 billion to the budget over five years, to create 175,000 new AmeriCorps volunteer opertunities.

Among the things created by the bill is the Congressional Commission on Civic Service.  This commision is designed to study various topics concerning “volunteer working” by citizens.  This in itself is hardly anything to worry about, but in the same section of the bill, 6104, it states that the commission should determine, “Whether a workable, fair, and reasonable mandatory service requirement for all able young people could be developed, and how such a requirement could be implemented in a manner that would strengthen the social fabric of the Nation and overcome civic challenges by bringing together people from diverse economic, ethnic, and educational backgrounds.”

Mandatory service is in direct violation of the Constitution and is known by a more common name to most – slavery.

Obama denies that there is any plan to institute mandatory service, but the orginal wording of his page on change.gov stated exactly that.  It was only after fears of the idea started to tarnish his name, that the wording was changed to state that Americans would be “encouraged” to complete, “50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year”.

Mandatory service is an abomination that should not even been considered, let alone planned for. Mandatory service from our nation’s youth – the most impressionable of us – should be a bright red warning flag to those who remember anything of history.  That there were almost no cries against this bill in either branch of the Congress, tells just how corrupt the entire Federal government has become.

The Big Takeover

This article in the Rolling Stone, by Matt Taibbi – is well worth the read.  If you’ve been confused by the economic insanity of late, this article will clear things up quickly.

USSA

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009

In a story from the Washington Post today:

“Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner today told Congress the administration will seek unprecedented power to seize non-bank financial companies whose collapse could jeopardize the economy, a move Geithner said would have allowed the government to bail out insurance giant American International Group at a far lower cost to taxpayers.”

[...]

“The administration’s proposal contains two pieces. First, it would empower a government agency to take on the new role of systemic risk regulator with broad oversight of any and all financial firms whose failure could disrupt the broader economy. The Federal Reserve is widely considered to be the leading candidate for this assignment. But some critics warn that this could conflict with the Fed’s other responsibilities, particularly its control over monetary policy.

The government also would assume the authority to seize such firms if they totter toward failure.

Besides seizing a company outright, the Treasury Secretary could use a range of tools to prevent its collapse, such as guaranteeing losses, buying assets or taking a partial ownership stake.”

In creating legislation of this magnitude, the Federal government is tossing aside any and all pretenses of supporting a free market system. This is not an attempt to protect any citizen of the United States or any company from failure, but instead to impose full governmental control of the entire economic system. Socialism, Marxism, communism – give it the the label you want – if this legislation passes, the United States of America as it was originally founded, is dead and buried!

Welcome to the United Socialist States of America.

Police Abuse

I’d really like to hear anyone justify this beating.  This is the action of  a thug with a badge in my book.

Tax and Spend

Friday, March 13th, 2009

As if the recent $787 billion stimulus spending wasn’t enough to make you understand that Obama is farting your great-great-great-great grandschildren’s money away, perhaps the recent, quietly signed, pork laden $410 billion spending bill will wake you up as to how far we’ve been had by our Charlatan in Chief.  This bill including billions in earmarks, which Obama previously promised to curb.

Among the most egregious actions of this signing, was President Obama’s “sighing statement” on the act, which he has heavily criticised President Bush for doing.

Different President, same shit.

At least the American public is starting to wake up from the spell of his rhetoric.
